Inverness boss Richie Foran hit out at his "weak'' players as he admitted his side are now in relegation trouble.

The Highlanders suffered a 3-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Hamilton which now leaves them three points adrift at the bottom.

The Irishman has previously refused to contemplate a battle against the drop, but their limp display at the SuperSeal Stadium now leaves him with no choice.

Foran said: "That puts us in a relegation battle.

"Unfortunately we have a few players hiding. We have a few mentally weak players, who can't handle it.

"They can't handle being bottom of the league. There are a few lacking a bit of bottle.

"It is worrying and maybe those players need a rest. You are looking for warriors and fighters now.

"I can't keep making excuses for them. It is not good enough.

"I'm sick of hearing apologies for individual mistakes when I go in after the game.

"I don't want to hear that any more. They need to keep their mouths shut and go out and perform. I can't keep telling them to have belief, they've got to believe it.''
